RIYADH, 18 November 2020, (TON): Arar crossing opens for transportation of goods and people for the first time since 1990, official statement says.

Iraq and Saudi Arabia have opened the Arar border crossing for trade for the first time in three decades, the Iraqi border ports commission has said in a statement.

Top officials, including Iraqi interior minister and the Saudi ambassador to Iraq, travelled from Baghdad to formally open Arar, where a line of cargo trucks had been waiting since Wednesday morning.

Arar had remained closed since 1990 after the two countries severed ties following former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait.

The border reopening will likely improve their relations. Resultantly, paving a way for further cooperation as Iraq is in the phase of reconstruction. However, it would be seen that how Iraq keeps a balance in their relations with Iran and Saudi Arabia as similarly, Iran is its closest ally and a largest trading partner.
